CHARLES G. WEAVER, 0F CRYSTALSPRINGS, KANSAS.

WOOD-CARRIER.

Application filed September 4, 1913.

To all fio/mm it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES G. VEAVER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Crystalsprings, in the county of Harper, State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVood- Carriers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The present invention is directed to improveniente in wood carriers, and has for its object to so construct a device of this character that a number of short lire logs ma)T be placed thereon and the carrier lifted to inelose the logs so that the same can be conveniently carried to their place of use.

A further object of the invention' is to provide a device of this character which is exceedingly simple in construction, durable and one which can be manufactured at a very small cost.

With these and other objects in view, this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formation, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more `fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Flgure l 1s a plan view of the devlce. Fig.

2 is an end view showin the device in itsv operative position.

The carrier comprises a plurality of transverse sheet metal bars 1, the same being arranged inyspaced parallel relation and have their terminals provided with perfor-ations 2, while their intermediate portions are provided with perforations 3.

Arranged in spaced parallel relation with the outermost bars 1 are sheet metal bars 4, said bars also having their terminals provided with perforations 5 and intermediate perforations 6.

The terminals of the bars 1 are alined with the chain sections 7 so that the links thereof loosely engage the perforations 2 formed in the terminals of said bars, similar sections 8 being provided for engaging the perforations 3 formed in said bars.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 24, 1914.

Serial No. 788,171.

The bars ll are of less length than the bars 1 and are connected to the outermost bars l by chain sections 9, certain links of which engage the perforations 2 of the outermost bars, while the otherlinks of said sections engage the perforations 5 formed 55 in the short bars 4. Chain sections 10 are also provided and have one of their ends engaging the perforations 6 of the bars 4 and their other ends the perforations 3 of the bars 1.

Connected to the perforations 5 of the short bars 4 arev links 11, which are designed to pivotally interlock with the eyes 12 formed upon the ends of the handles 13.

From the foregoing description it'will be 65 seen that upon placing logs upon the carrier and moving the handlesl so that the same contact the device can be readily lifted to transport the wood.

A wood carrier of the class described comprising a plurality of transverse bars, said bars having perforations formed in their terminals and intermediate thereof, short bars arranged in spaced parallel relation with the outermost bars of the lirst namedbars, said short bars having perforations formed -in their terminals and intermediate thereof, chain sections connecting the terminal perforations of the bars, similar chain sections connecting the intermediate perforations of said bars, curved links connected to the perforations in the terminals of the short bars, said links being constructed and arranged to bear against -.85 the uppermost piece of wood being carried to force the other of said pieces outwardly against the chains, and handles having their ends connected to the links.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES G. WEAVER.
